Rearranging some of MarKus's(or Spark's) things (or others – before meeting)

She would never take things and keep them, not anymore anyway. She just enjoyed moving her friends things around when they weren't around. If something caught her eye she might borrow it for a short period of time but she would always give it back. It was a distraction and it kept her skills sharp. There were many things filtering through her thoughts but nothing made sense when she finally went to put the pieces together.

Yuffie might be digressing a bit but it was the only way she really knew how to deal with everything. She wasn't sure if she should feel happy. Did she diverse to feel happy? Everything happens for a reason right? Maybe it was suppose to happen?

[ooc: Feel free to have Yuffie swipe anything. She'd look at it and then give it back or if she knows you, you can catch her moving your things around.]

Sneaking into windows (for those she knows - after meeting)

Her footsteps were silent as she moved across the gleaming grass. It wasn't so bright in the dark but the moons light was enough to make the area far to bright for Yuffie's liking. She couldn't really hide. She moved across the yard glancing at the window that stood like a checkered line marking the end of a race. It wasn't so hard to get to.

Yuffie should have probably turned invisible to do this but that wasn't as much fun and there was a purpose to her visit. The meeting had her thinking and this was her best chance to finally do something. She didn't think the other heroes were going to do anything so quickly so she was going to leave and try and do things herself.

There were just a few places she had to stop by first.

She moved up towards the window moving silently as she carefully began to open the sliding glass. She peeked in the window waiting for her eyes to adjust to the darker room. Let's hope her target was asleep.

Leaving town (Maybe not permanently or at all – after meeting)

Mooshoo finally caught up to her as she walked away from the city gates. A bag was slung over her shoulder and she walked with a purpose. She should probably leave with company but that didn't really cross her mind. She wanted to do something and this was one of the few times Mooshoo was trying to talk her out of a crazy idea.

”...This isn't a good idea” Mooshoo watched Yuffie his expression filled with worry. He usually let her be watching as she grew and changed over time. He knew that people cared about her and she cared about those around her and yet she was trying to do things on her own again.

“Come on. Mushu. It will be fine. I can't just do nothing.” She flashed him an angry stare.

”....you shouldn't go alone...”

“Yeah, I don't think anyone would want to come with. Besides I have even more people I want to protect.” She meant to make it sound like she was complaining but her tone became wistful and soft as she spoke. Yuffie knew a handful of people who'd get pissed if she just up and left.

IF she walking past him to keep leaving town, he'll float in her path rather persistently.

If she's going back towards the forge, he won't be behind her, but when she deviates, he'll show up again. Kugami is very determined. Or perhaps its an excuse for him to get out of town too and drag his Hero along.

Yuffie will try and leave but grumble and then turn around. She walked slowly through the city and after awhile she just let her feet guide her. It was a familiar path though she preferred to run along the roof tops.

Her original plan wouldn't work if someone came with her. More so if it's MarKus because she really didn't want him to get hurt. Also what did that stupid moogle mean by want to get out of the city? All last last month they were outside the city.

Maybe that didn't count.

When she arrived at MarKus's shop she looks around for the stupid moogle and then just sits on the ground. She didn't want to go inside just yet. It was easier to pout outside.

At least she got this far. It's a start. And for Kugami, MarKus camping outside of town just meant that he got to 'be home'. He was still in and about Aquares Ixen, not going to some other city, or across seas, or spelunking.

But he idly keeps an eye on her. Not nearby, but across the road, loafing in the shade with his bandanna pulled down low as if he were napping.

Yuffie caught sight of him and winced. Since coming back into the city Mooshoo was hanging back too.

"I CAN SEE YOU, YOU KNOW!" There really was no reason to shout but it was hard not to. Yuffie stood and then pushed at the door mumbling to herself. "Stupid annoying moogles butting into others businesses."

"MarKus, you here? Nope! Okay." She tried, now she will leave because she didn't even have a plan anymore. She can't ask MarKus to do something stupid with her.

Kugami just pouts. "You know he's there."

He sighs though... at least he got her this far... Even if she won't tell him... he's gauged enough that she really cares.

Yuffie just glared at Kugami before turning to slip into MarKus's shop. "Fine. I'll ask but you need to stay out here. Go give Mooshoo company or something."

With those as her final words she slipped into the warmth of the shop and began actually looking for MarKus.

He wouldn't follow her inside. That was her business with him. He'd actually sit there, across the road.

"Oh, hey Yuffie. What's up~" As usually, always happy to see her! What ever could this be about?

Well, shit, now she had to think of what to say to MarKus. She can't very well say, So I was going to leave town and not tell you.

After a pause she placed her hands in her pockets looking over at MarKus. She couldn't help but smile when she saw him, which in this situation was a little annoying. "I want to leave for a bit."

A pause.

"I want you to come with."

"Leave?" Certainly an expected question to be asked, but when she elaborated, inviting him along, his smile maintained rather than dropping to ask her the exact same questions but with worry rather than anticipation.

"Where too? Were you leaving like... now?" he asks. "If it can wait I just gotta reassign work while I'm gone. Orders will be delayed a bit but, it's not the end of the city."

Wasn't this supposed to be more complicated?

"Wait.." She looked around as if waiting for spectators to jump from the shadows. "That's it? You're not going to tell me you have all this work to do?"

Another pause.

"You haven't been talking to Kugami have you?"

She waited a heart beat before realizing that she had just asked a stupid question. "I mean, no, not right away. I gotta figure out plans first." Because with another person they would change.

"Well yeah, I have work to do but... if you want me to go with you, why would I say no?" he counters. "I've got a good team here. Just leave instructions for them." he says.

"What's he got to do with anything?" What? "I haven't seen him all day actually so..." Yuffie are you even okay? "Well, while you work that out, I'll work out the work thing here. Just come get me when you're ready!"

Yuffie was going to say more but she was still a little surprised and from what she was saying it was no wonder that MarKus was confused.

"Yeah. I'll figure out plans. We have to make a few stops I guess. You cool with Aerlin?" She thinks that's what it's called but she didn't actually remember.

"Then maybe south from there."

Maybe that was a town he didn't know? Saying it wrong was fine.

"Yeah, that's fine. Wherever. Is it just going to be us?" he asks, which, matters but doesn't matter? Yanno, alone-times?

She felt herself blush for a moment before finally speaking. "Ah, yeah. Just us. There is someone I need to drop in on and say hi too but that will be a short hello." Mostly because she didn't want to hang out with Kidd longer than she had too, but she had said she'd stop by.

Yuffie glanced around avoiding MarKus's gaze. "Maybe we can stop by the beach? It's warmer out anyway."

MarKus lived with Kidd. It wouldn't hurt to pop in on him and check up on the weapon bits going on.

"Sure... I'll have to get something to wear. I don't think I own any beach clothes here. It's... all work and fighting clothes actually. Damn..."

Stupid Moogle was right... he does need to get out. And even regardless of having talked to him before or not, he was agreeing entirely. So good for you, Yuffie, for manning up and asking!

So many talking to MarKus more wouldn't be the end of the world. If they headed out they'd also be able to talk about more than his work. It was a relief. She hadn't wanted to ask him thinking that he would have told her no. She wasn't the sort to handle rejection with grace but now she was smiling.

Her lips stretching from ear to ear in a wide grin. She felt a little silly but Yuffie was happy.

"Awesome. I can pick up clothes for you before we head out." She squinted. "I think I can guess your size." Or she could get his moogle to pick them up. Clothes were a moogle thing anyway.
